We found this place searching Google. It was easily accessible off and on I20. We were seated immediately and did not wait long for our food. Our service was great and the food was delicious!

We got there right after church. It took about 15 minutes to seat us. My wife wanted the seafood platter, so I shared it with her. The food was a little too salty for me but my wife loved the fried oysters. My son got the crawfish etouffe. Our waitress was good, Charlie. It’s an overall good restaurant.

Boo fries might look a bit egh but they are delicious 🤤 pasta chicken salad was good. And my husband his was delicious. Not sure what it was.

GREAT food & AMAZING customer service. My go to is the catfish lunch special, fresh, filling, & a great price. The fried green tomatoes are awesome as well. Special thanks to staff that found my wallet after I left & made sure I got it back.

The food was well-cooked with good textures, but pretty bland. Somehow the side of bread might’ve been better than the actual jambalaya. But it was fixable since they had salt, pepper, Tabasco sauce, and more available. The beans are pretty good. Though I’m from Houston, so not sure if I’m used to overly flavorful food or something. The service was slow due to a lack of employees, but the employees were very friendly!

No complaints. Fried green tomatoes were on point. I didn’t love the sauce that it came with, but the homemade ranch I ordered made it so much better. I will order again. Service was a little slow and the drinks were made with a cheaper liquor so I’m giving it a 4. I would visit again.

The food is always great. The wait staff is always friendly. When I have friends visit from out of state, this is where we go.

My first visit, and the food was good. Read reviews prior to coming and they were good. Must come back when I have a designated driver. 😉
